A consummate professional who delivered a critical IP victory

Our company faced a complex patent infringement dispute that threatened our core technology product. We engaged Stephen Hall at Bradley Arant, and the decision was pivotal. Stephen’s deep grounding in intellectual property law, honed over nearly three decades, was immediately evident. He didn't just understand the legal statutes; he grasped the intricate technical nuances of our software, which was crucial for building our defense. His active trial experience and strategic foresight allowed us to navigate pre-trial motions with precision, ultimately leading to a highly favorable settlement before a protracted court battle. Stephen’s recognition as a multiple-time Lawyer of the Year in Huntsville for both Patent Law and IP Litigation is clearly well-deserved. Beyond his formidable expertise, his communication was consistently clear, managing expectations while fighting tenaciously for our interests. He transformed a potentially devastating legal challenge into a secured business outcome.
